*NOTE*
Some of these songs are a lot easier to play with a capo.
The tab is without the capo, but a note is made if I think
one is used.

Words:
Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me, d'you see, do you like me
Do you like me standing there
Do'you notice, d'you know,
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care
Unhappiness where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care
Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
Cause I liked it, I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know me, d'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care
Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care
Does anyone care

Words:
Lying in my bed again
And I cry cause you're not here
Crying in my head again
And I know that it's not clear
But your hands, put your hands
Inside my face and see that it's just you
But it's bad and it's mad
And it's making me sad
Because I can't be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Baby I can't be with you
Thinking back on how things were
And how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother of your child
And now it's just farewell
Put your hands in my hands
And come with me
We'll find another end
And my head, and my head
On anyone's shoulder
Cause I can't be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
Baby I can't be with you
Cause you're not here, you're not here
And baby I'm still in love with you
And baby I'm still in love with you

Words:
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head
They are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head
They are crying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taken over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme
Since 1916
In your head, in your head
They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head
They are dying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie

Words:
Something has left my life
And I don't know where it went to
Somebody caused me strife
And it's not what I was seeking
Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me
Didn't you see me standing there
Why did you turn out the lights
DId you know that I was sleeping
Say a prayer for me
Help me to feel the strength I did
My identity has it been taken
Is my heart breaking on me
All my plans they feel through my hands
They feel through my hands on me
All my dreams it seldom seems
Empty

It makes me lonely
It makes me very lonely
When I see you here, waitin' on
It makes me tired
It makes me very tired
And inside of me, limps on
But you have your heart
Don't believe it
And you will find it, waitin' on
Everything I said
Well I meant it
And inside my head, holdin' on
Cause if I die tonight
Would you hold my head, no
Would you understand
And if I lived in spite
Would you still be here, no
Would you disappear
Surely must be you
But I don't make you lonely
I'll get over you
But I don't make you lonely

There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long
How
How could you a child
Hurt a child, hurt a child
Now
Does this make you satisfied
Satisfied, satisfied
I don't know what's happening to people today
When a child, child, child
Child he was taken away
There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime

Disappointment
You shouldn't have done
You couldn't have done
You wouldn't have done
The things you did then
And we could've been happy
What a piteous thing
A hideous thing
Was dangered by the rest
But it won't get any harder
And I hope you find your way again
And it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did
Then
In the night we fight, I fled, you're right
It was exactly then, it was exactly then
I decided, decided, decided, decided
And drew you out
In the night we fight, I fled, you're right
It was exactly then, it was exactly then
I decided, decided, decided, decided
But it won't be any harder
And I hope you find your way again
And it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did

Words:
Silenced by death in the grave
Well W.B. Yeat couldn't save
Why did you stand here
Were you sickened in time
But I know by now
Why did you sit here
In the grave
Why should I blame her
That she filled my days with misery
Or she that of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways
Or hurled the litter streets upon the grave
Had they but courage equal to desire
Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay
But she had MacBride anyway
And you sit here with me
On the isle Luistree
And you're waiting down anything
But I know by now
Why did you sit here
In the grave
Why should I blame her
Had they but courage equal to desire
